Suitable for both Key stage 3 and 4. This worksheet is designed to help pupils revise expanding single brackets. The challenge section features questions involving the expansion of double brackets. The worksheet is fully differentiated (mild, medium spicy, hot and challenge) allowing pupils to work at different levels simultaneously. The worksheet also features a section for pupils to self-assess their understanding and set a target for next lesson.
Answers included which can be projected directly onto the smart board.

Expanding Brackets Simplifying Algebraic Expressions Collecting Like Terms
Linear Expressions
✦ Notes:
This is great for end of term fun!
There are 20 questions on simplifying algebraic expressions by expanding brackets.
Each answer occurs twice, once with a number and once with a colour.
The matching colour can then be used to colour the picture in a colour by number activity.
The resource is printed in black and white for the students to colour in.
All answers are included.
✎ Contents:
This resource includes:
• 1 worksheet with 20 multi-step questions.
• 1 colouring answer sheet.
• Teachers notes.
• All answers.
✦ Objectives:
To practice: -

Expanding Brackets for KS3 Maths
This individual powerpoint presentation is from the KS3 Maths Topics Series.
It contains 56 slides (Plus a title and end slide), so there are lots of examples. This is an ideal resource which you will enjoy using to explain Expanding Brackets to your classes for years to come.
The powerpoint explains:
Multiplying out a Single Pair of Brackets (30 examples)
Multiplying out a Douple Pair of Brackets (Grid Method) (12 Examples)
Multiplying out a Doubel Pair of Brackets (‘FOIL’ Method) (12 Examples)
Powerpoint resource on Expanding brackets - shows claw method or grid method for lower ability. With questions and answers. Finally, bingo with answers.
This PowerPoint Introduces the expansion of 4 expressions, representing these as the content of the appropriate number of boxes including one with three terms within the bracket.
This is followed by an example with a negative multiplier.
Then 8 questions to work as a class, before they begin any text exercise.
A set of 5 graded single sided worksheets with solutions.
A suitable resource for students who need more practice.
The first column could be worked on in class and the second column left for the students to finish for homework.

A complete, fully differentiated lesson with examples using the grid method and a range of clear progress checks before each RAGed task (with answers) on the following learning objectives:
Understand how to multiply terms.
Use knowledge on multiplying terms to expand single brackets.
Apply expanding single brackets in order to expand a set of single brackets.
This lesson can be used with KS3 or KS4 students as it also involves expanding a set of single brackets. This PowerPoint also shows clear progression through the lesson using the learning objectives.
This is a whole lesson looking at Expanding Quadratics or Expanding Two Brackets. This lesson looks at both using the grid method and the foil method and has built-in questions as well as Matching Activities. This lesson is ready to go, with no prep required. It is also great for home learning. 17 slide presentation + lots of other resources.
The lesson includes:
+ a starter (looking at multiplication and making a link for the grid method)
+ learning objectives (differentiated)
+ keywords
+ Great teaching slides (lots of custom animation)
+ lots of different examples of using the grid method with slightly different questions. This is deliberate to help the pupils see the subtle differences. These include negatives and use of more algebra.
+ Also 2 examples of using the foil method
+ Worksheet (with answers)
+ Handout (to help less able students or for student notes)
+ 2 Matching Activities
+ Plenary

Pupils practise expanding brackets. This sheet doesnt have any terms squared as its meant to allow stuedents to grasp confidently multiplying numbers and letters and to be able to write expressions after expanding.
A fully differentiated lesson with an extension on expanding brackets. Each section is also differentiated with negatives or coefficients being at the end rather than start of the question which throws a lot of students off balance. I had been observed teaching this lesson and received very positive feedback about planning, covering misconceptions and differentiation.
